Saturday Night Takeaway will continue with Dec presenting the show alone, after co-host Ant McPartlin’s arrest for suspected drink-driving.

In a post shared on Ant and Dec’s Twitter page, Declan Donnelly announced he would present the two remaining shows of the series.

“Whilst I never thought I’d be in this position, after much discussion and careful consideration we’ve decided that the remaining two shows of this series of Saturday Night Takeaway will go ahead,” he wrote.

“We made a promise to take hundreds of deserving winners to Florida to watch the series finale, and we will honour that.”
